Email Invite (Magic Links)

With Magic Links, your private project can only be accessed by those whom you invite.

The process is as follows:

  • You invite a reader by providing their e-mail address and when their access should expire (or never).
  • We send them an e-mail containing a link that allows them access to the docs for the validity of their access. Once they use the link, it can no longer be used again.
  • If they need another link, they can always go to the docs site and request a new magic link.

How to Enable Email Invite?

  1. From the sidebar, choose Project Settings .
  2. Under General Settings, choose Make Private (or Manage Access).
  3. Select Email Invite.
  4. Hit Save.

Troubleshooting

If you are getting Magic Link has already been used everytime, it might be that an e-mail security software is installed on our mail domain. Such security software might access links to check it before you receive the e-mail, which causes the link to become void. Please contact us to resolve this mentioning "two step magic links".
